"The reason I set a “View Limit” is because we are all Twitter addicts and need to go outside," Musk wrote in a tweet. "I’m doing a good deed for the world here. Also, that’s another view you just used."
In another post, he wrote: "you awake from a deep trance, step away from the phone to see your friends & family."
Over the weekend, Musk announced that users with unverified Twitter accounts (that do not pay for a monthly subscription) will be limited to reading only 600 posts a day, compared to verified accounts, whose users will be able to read 6,000 posts a day.
New accounts that have not been verified will be able to read a maximum of 300 posts per day.
The new Twitter rules are also meant to prevent technical issues from arising due to high traffic on the platform.
